Sugar free drinks vs clean water for hydration ?

We all know how hard is to drink 2 gallons of clean water day and mostly when is winter and also on bulking eating alot of food how can you have place to put all that water . I can tell you this is the most hard think for me to do during contest prep . and to drink the amount of water I need I have to use sugar free drinks like Bolero, Cristal Light or even EAA with flavor , and doing that I can drink the amount of water that I need . Is that bad? We see some coaches telling you can do it but others claim this sweeteners are so toxic and can cause inflammation on body leading to water retention all body. What do you think about that?

Let´s see this way, is better to drink 2 gallons Bolero sugar free per day or drink half gallon clean water per day?

If the athlete can´t drink the 2 gallon´s of clean water per day and only drink half , is not a better choice put sugar free Bolero and drink the 2 gallons he needs to be hydrated? Of course can be toxic and cause fluid retention but can this be worst than drinking half gallon and be dehydrated ?

In my opinion I think is always better be hydrated even if for that you need to use sugar free drinks.

I think there's nothing better than water in terms of hydration and luckily, I am among those who do not need any sugar free drinks.

Sugar free drinks are good, yet they are still having unhealthy chemicals, unlike water

I've read that water with some salt a few times per day is better for body

Yes water is the most natural better quality drink for sure

I usually drink a lot of water, but during my last prep, I found myself needing some flavor boost too. So, I mixed in some sugar-free drinks like Bolero or Crystal Light to hit my target. Honestly, I haven’t noticed any major issues like water retention or inflammation, but I do try to balance it out with good hydration overall. I think if you’re only drinking half a gallon of plain water, the hydration level could be a bigger problem than the sweeteners in sugar-free drinks. Also, I’ve been using organic whey protein isolate a lot lately, which has helped me feel more balanced while getting enough nutrients. I agree, hydration should be the priority!
